furnishing two of the greatest essentials to
forest growth. The absence Of fertilizing
ingredients in the Upper Timbers also
accounts for the exceedingly scruoby
growth of the timber, which peculiarly,
however, the inhabitants always ascribe
to the burning of tne adjacent prairies.
The barrenness of the prairies, so far as
forest growth is concerned. is owing to
the absence of the requisite structural
conditions for preservation of moisture,
as well as the excess of carbonate of lime
in their soils.
THE DIFFERENCE IN FERTILITY
between the sandy loans of the Lower
Cross Timbers and the dirty sands of the
Upper, accounts for the varietal differ
ences of their respective f1oras. The
fora Of the Cross Timbers is by no means
confined to those two areas, but exist in
smaller tracts. wherever the soil and
structure are favorable. In fact the finest
development of the fora has been
observed in some of these local patches.
The Cross Timbers end so abruptly
upon the maps to the south aud north for
two reasons. To the south the arenaCe-
Gus strata are either covered by higher
strata, or washed away entirely; the
northern termination is usually placed at
Red river, because of the absence Of cor
rect Typographical knowledge concerning
it's extent in the Indian Territory. 1t is
we'll known, however, that they extend
into that region, an0 it is probable that
the two members there merge into one
the surface becoming more fertile, and the
rains more abundant and regular, so that
the ttmber's growth is not necessarily
confined to the sandy soils.
It is also now evident that many i'm
portant differences in the two members
OF the Cross Timbers are seen in Texas,
and that they can no longer be treated
alike from an agricultural or geologic
standpoint, the lower one being far more
fertile aud better adapted to human habi
tstion than the upper, which is mostly an
arid and sterile region.

Sheridan's Ride.

Sheridan hid left washington on the
morning of October IS, 1854. by train. and
passed the night at Winchester. twenty
miles north Of the battlefield On the
morning Of the 18th, he heard the firing
of cannon, and sent out to inquire the
cause, but was told IT came from a recon-
noissance. At nine O'Clock he rode leis-
urely out of Winchester, not dreaming
that his army was IN danger. After lit
tie, he heard again the sound Of heavy
guns, and now heRew what itmust mean.
Not half mile from Winchester he came
upon the appalling marks Of defeat and
rOut The runaways from the battle,
still in flight, had got so ilras this in their
terror. The trains of Wagons were rush
ing by, horses and drivers all in confu-
sion, for there is no worse turmoil in this
world than the flight and wreck of u
beaten army. Sheridan bad never seen
his own men in this condition before.
He at once ordered the trains to be
halted, and sent for brigade of troops
from Winchester these he posted across
the road to prevent further struggling.
Then be called for an escort of twenty
men, and, directing his staff to stem the
torrent as well as they could, he set off
himself for the battlefield He rode
straight into the throng offigitives, in a
splendid passion Of wrath and determin-
alton, squirting his horse and swinging
his hat as he passed, and calling to the
men
Face the other way, boys Face the
other way
Hundreds turned at the appeal and
followed him with cheers, for they all
knew Sheridan.
II was ten o'clock before he reached the
field There he rode about hurriedly,
glanced at the position, and at once de
termined upon his course Here-arrang-

beaten, and then went back to bring up
the panic-stricken remainder. And now

they, as a rule, preserved good temper

lock over the civil rights bill, when Ran

as usual, Butler, who favored holding a
session on Sunday, went overto Randall's
desk TO arrange for it. Randall would
not agree to the proposition.

Temptations OF Brokers Life.

From the start, the boy entering bro

sums of money to carry to the
bank or to customers. He may
be in an Office where bank bills
and shining gold are within his reach all

absorbed in the subject of stocks, bonds,
and money, that it win be somewhat
strange if he does not soon begin to lock
at the getting of money as the most inn
portant business of life. And when heis
little Older and becomes clerk or cash
ier, he will be exposed to the temptation

very hazardous, and on all accounts

great strength Of character to resist the
temptation to get wealthy by false meth
ods and boy should think long and
well before he adopts the calling.
For the brokers' business is at best un-
stable. The work is done quickly in the
midst of great excitement and at high
pressure, as We say. As money comes
quickly and easily to the broker, it is not
so highly priced as lift were earned by
the toll which produces visible result,
and it usually goes as easily as it comes.
Brokers, of course, defend their own oc-
cupation. They will tell you that their
services as agents in securing stocks and
bonds are needed but they will not
deny that stock brokerage would cease
to be profitable businesss, except to
very few firms. if people We're to stop
specializing in securities. 0fcourse there
are many men in this business who have
risen to wealth and to eminence as finan-
ciers, who would scorn to do mean or
dishonoable act All honor to such men,
because they must often have been sorely
tempted to do wrong.

of men, SO many of whom have personal

They are open-handed with their means.
Their word TO one another is as good as a
bond. In fact, large proportion of the
business transacted upon the exchange is
done without written contract, and de-
pends solely upon the good faith of the
members concerned. Their promptness
to respond on public appeals for aid or
sympathy is proverbiaI. Yet all this
should have no influence upon boy

Wisdom of the Sages.

What a grand thing it must be to have
a good, thorough education, and know
ali about astronomy and natural history
and phiebotomy and all those things. A
painful sense of my own general ignor-
ance always makes me feel very i'll at
ease in presence of learned people Not
great while ago, two months, perhaps,
was writing, and happening 10 glance out
Of my window, saw hawk make a swo0p
and catch poor little English sparrow.
The robber, with great insoienee, few
into a pine tree close to my window and
began his breakfast. I called the Prince,
and we watched the hawk devour the
little bird. He held the sparrow on the
limb of the tree with his taIons, and tore
of bite after bite with his great beak He
did not pluck a feather before eating.
Now and then, when feather would
come away with shred of meat, the
hawk shook it from his beak, but went
right on with his meal He didn't swal-
low any feathers, but beyond that he
paid not the slightest attention TO them,
simply shaking them off his beak when
they got in his way. Half an hour later
read in most excellent paper the
statement by a learned ornithOlogist and
an old hunter that the hawk nsrer be-
gins devouring bird until he has first
carefully plueked sreFy feather out Of it."
Now if hadn't read that, you see how
ignorant woald have been of a simple
fact in natural history, I believe that
villain of hawk acted as he did on pur-
pose 10 mislead me. But, thanks to the
learned man, he failed Am l going to
take the word of a miserable, ignorant
hawk against that of great ornitholo-
